Much of The Catholic Herald’s content – letters, reviews, news, extra comment and features – is not available online.

This week, Andrew M Brown reviews of Gods and Men, a strikingly moving French film about the last months of Cistercian monks who were killed in Algeria. Fr Alexander Lucie-Smith explores the significance of the Holy Father’s remarks on condom use, and John Hinton reviews a book about Joseph Goebbels, the would-be priest who built Hitler’s myth. Robin Baird-Smith, meanwhile, says that rage can be good for us.
